main on/off switch is located on the front of the headstock. A plug and socket are
provided on the back of the machine to enable quick connection and disconnection of
the electrical supply. No cable is supplied, as the length of the cable will be dependant
on your installation. The lathe has a 3 HP Baldor 220-volt single or 3-phase

moved along the bed of the lathe.
Optional bed extensions
